Sherry, I know I commented here on an earlier post, but did not realize that this was a new blog. How easily I am confused..!I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments and subscribe to the notion that the more I relax, the more joy flows through my life.Although he is not for everyone, the writings of Don Miguel Ruiz, teach us to approach life in a different way, and I have found this very helpful. It has taught me a lot about myself.

Dear Sheila,I do practice the Four Agreements.Not taking things personally has been a releasing for. The not making assumptions has also opened the door to much joy. I find that relationships are easier too by doing that. Doing the best I can do sometimes is where I fall short. I always think I can make improvements. The impecability with my word is somewhat easy for me. I do not use many words!Thank you so much for bringing Don Miguel Ruiz into our discussion.Sherry

Dear Kat,I too think when we drop our expectations we begin to open to the possibilities that are everywhere present. I also do not experience dissapointment. Life has had many dissapointments for me. I think it is because I carried expectation.Now, I just am aware and have the experience of the moment.Having said that, I still find expectation is in my way of being.I have to remind myself everyday to just "be", "as is". Progress not perfection!Sherry
